Hump day
Let's play
Squirrels and bunnies
or dustbunnies
I say
Gratitude for all
Let's go out and have a ball
But what about the groundhog
There is a contest going on for that hog
Not a dog now, or ground pork
A little fella that is a weather dork
Making those predictions everyyear
Bringing many of us to tear
Here, here, time to cheer
Miigwech for all year!

Author's Note: The following is where my rhyme above comes from.

Bunnies and squirrels
Enjoying seeds on the ground
Dog barking inside
Squirrels getting plump
Scrounging on the ground for seeds
Dog barking inside
Dog barking inside
At the bunnies hopping 'round
Eating seeds outside.

CB: It's Wednesday, they call it hump day! A sunny day, I pray, as I head out for the day! Ole man winter has been hard at it this year, making it hard to go out and play! Each and everyday I wake up is a success, no matter what the day!
When I wake up, I hold my head high, thankful for another day!
My higher up is with me as I pray, guide me through this day, show me the way!
Have a great day, go out and play!
Author's Note: Then there was this, and how could she miss??

On the groundhog
I totally missed the memo on the groundhog
My head was probably in its usual fog
So here I go, writing about the animal I love
The one sent direct from heaven above
Many people think he’s about the weather
But I say, they were made for pleasure
“What?”, you say, “How can that be??”
If you keep reading, soon you will see
It’s all in one’s own personal perspective
Which, for me, can be somewhat selective
I see the ground hog throughout the year
No, I’m not crazy, please, have no fear
It’s at all the grocery stores in our town
I like to cook it until it’s nice and brown,
Sausage with eggs and some buttered toast
On a pizza with cheese, in the oven to roast
Mixed with stuffing inside a holiday turkey
Some people even season and dry it for jerky
So you see, it’s all in the way we look at things
And ground hogs are fit for queens and kings
